 Ministry of Energy is planning to increase the country’s thermal power capacity up to 5,223MW by summer 2019 to make up for the shortage of about 8,000MW reliable power next year.

There is going to be about 8,000MW shortage of reliable power during peak times in 2019, according to the latest assessments. The Ministry of Energy is planning to compensate for the shortage by bringing 27 new thermal power units on stream and upgrading 23 others.

The new units include the steam-gas power units installed at the plants of Maku, Caspian, Parand, Hormoz, Zahedan, Kashan, Qeshm, Asalouyeh, etc., which will come on stream by June 2019.

Some of these power units, such as Parand and Caspian, have joined the grid this summer.

In addition to these 27 new units, which are expected to come on stream by the next year’s peak consumption time, 19 power units at combined-cycle power plants are scheduled to get upgrades. The implementation of the plan will add 281MW more capacity to the country’s thermal plants.

Another project on agenda includes removing the production limit at four power units, which would add 220MW more capacity to the country’s thermal power grid.

]]>  Some 448 units in 91 of Iran’s thermal power plants are going under a general overhauling program to get ready for the next year’s demand peak period.

The annual overhaul program starts every year in early September and will continue until late May in the next year, the report said.

According to Bahman Mehran, head of Thermal Power Plants Holding Company (TPPH)’s planning, operation and marketing office, over 95,000 megawatts (MW) capacity of the country’s thermal power plants will go through overhaul during this year’s program.

“Since the total capacity of the country’s thermal power plants stands at 57,600 MW, the mentioned figure indicates that some plants will go under more than one round of overhaul during the program,” the official said.

Since the summer months constitute Iran’s peak demand periods, most of the power plant overhaul programs are scheduled to take place during autumn, winter and spring seasons.
